Description

Workouts++ lets you completely customize your Apple Watch workouts to display whatever fitness data you'd like — from a 6 metric display packed with info to a focused single metric display. For each metric you can setup conditional coloring and haptic alerts to help keep you in the zone. You can even display graphs of your performance to help you understand how well your workout is going.

You can view detailed statistics for all of your past workouts (whether you've collected them in Workouts++ or not). This includes summary statistics as well as graphs showing available minute-by-minute performance statistics.

Your lifetime stats are also summarized to give you a better idea of what your past performance looks like and how/when you typically workout.

You can also listen to podcasts during your workout played directly from your Apple Watch. Either transfer podcast files over to your Apple Watch before you head out or if you have a Series 3 LTE Apple Watch with cellular service you can stream the episodes right to your Apple Watch.

Notes: • Workouts++ requires an Apple Watch to collect the data it displays • Workouts++ integrates with the Health App on your iPhone to retrieve the data it displays. It will request permission to access the relevant data types associated with a workout. • Streaming podcasts requires an Series 3 LTE Apple Watch and active cellular service.

What's New

Version History

2.0.3

Jan 12, 2018

Just a quick clean-up update. The last one accidentally caused the workout display screen to sometimes not reset to your workout metrics when you manually locked the Apple Watch app. Sorry about that!

2.0.2

Jan 9, 2018

Thank you all for a phenomenal reception for version 2.0 of Workouts++! I really appreciate all the feedback and suggestions. I have a long list of features and abilities I'm working to add, in the meantime however, this quick update is focused around making things work more smoothly and fix a few bugs. - Address a situation where the workout recover feature would get stuck in a loop, leading to duplicate workouts saved - Limit the podcast episodes shown on the Apple Watch to recent ones to make it quicker to find the one you want - Try to detect the situation when Health permissions have not been given to the app to avoid the situation where you start a workout and then don't see any data

I hope you enjoy Workouts++. If you have a minute to leave a review in the App Store for it I would really appreciate it. They really help other users find the app. —Dave

2.0.1

Dec 22, 2017

Just a minor bug fix update fix a few issues in v2.0: - An issue where battery monitoring might fail to update - An issue where bad podcast images wouldn't load

NEW in 2.0:

Workouts++ has been redesigned from top to bottom to take advantage of all the new features in watchOS 4. This update allows you to use your Apple Watch in a whole new way for your workouts. The update includes: • Support for Apple Watch based podcast playback (either transferred to your Apple Watch or streamed over LTE [Streaming requires Series 3 LTE Apple Watch and cellular service]) • Support for Workout Location tracking and mapping of saved workout routes • Support for Swimming workouts • Siri integration (e.g. "Start Outdoor Walking workout in Workouts++") • Display of VO₂ Max values • Redesigned custom workout configuration system • Redesigned workout detail display • Added Stopwatch, Elevation, Average pace/speed and Activity ring metrics for display during workout • Added Distance and Duration Alerts • Workout recovery in the event your battery runs flat during a workout

I also have done a lot of under the covers refinements for the app and generally updated it to be more stable and reliable. I hope you enjoy the update.

1.0.1

Jan 9, 2017

Wow! Thank you all so much for the great feedback and for helping Workouts++ to have such a successful launch. While I am hard at work on some more substantial improvements for version 1.1 (including support for Swimming and location tracking), I wanted to get a smaller update out sooner to fix a few issues that have cropped up since launch:- Add ability to PAUSE a workout (you can also do this using the Digital Crown)- Fix a bug where metric units were not always showing when configured- Increase the max range for heart rates in the Config area- Add Strength, Yoga, Pilates and Functional Training types to the app- Improve the Speed/Pace calculations to be less volatile.

Please keep letting me know your ideas and suggestions for the app. I read them all.

If you have a minute to leave a review for the app I'd really appreciate it. It really helps! Thank you, Dave

Really good bug fix update

Jan 14, 2017

This was a good bug fix update. My review below stays the same but no more bugs. I'm still really loving this app. It's a great tool for run training.

V1 review: Worthy of the ++ designation

Forget flashy design and marketing. The developer understands runners and training. This app is a cut above the stock workouts app and offers functionality that is missing from the big name running apps.

The ability to customize the interface is nice, but haptic feedback and dynamic color changes for run metrics put it over the top! I have wanted an app that allowed for speed zone and heart rate zone training on the watch. I haven't been this excited about an app in quite some time. Now my AppleWatch is a real training tool!

There are some minor interface bugs and glitches. You can setup multiple interfaces with the same name. If you do the iPhone app will not maintain a consistent sort order and the watch interface will flicker on launch. I assume these will be fixed in future versions. There are no major bugs. This is a great app

I have two hopes for a future release. 1) Allow for more zones on the pace and heart rate sliders. 2) Add a metric for cadence.

Route tracking fail/fix and 2 watches

Jan 18, 2018

One of my favorite apps just got amazingly better. So happy that elevation is an option. And the data display on the phone is fantastic. I haven’t had time to give a complete test yet so I hope the bug that was causing data loss that surfaced in the last month is fixed. It has!

Now that I have had a few days I wish I could give it 6 stars. You can export the gps data as a gpx file. Fantastic. This is way to good to be a free app.

After several weeks of using the app I still love it but it does have a flakey bug. More often than not it fails to save the location data. Sometime later it seems to realize that it hasn’t been saved and will offer to resave. Sometimes the location data is saved to the phone but not always. Not a big deal to me now. However, it will be come the summer backpacking season.

This “bug” seems to be related to having more than 1 watch paired. By reordering the data sources in the health app so that the watch I use for workouts++ is the topmost device, routes are now displayed again. 5 stars unless route tracking fails again.
